To graduate with SACE, grades 11 and 12 students are required complete 200 credits with about 10-12 subjects, including 3 compulsory subjects: Mathematics and English and Research Method. The remaining subjects, students are selected from the list of training subjects including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Design, Business, etc., depending on their own strengths and career trends at the university level later.

Academic results are scored on a letter scale (A, B, C, D), in which 70% of the points come from the results accumulated during the study process, 30% come from the final exam scores in the same exam with Australia. Graduation results will be shown on two types of transcripts: SACE’s score scale (A, B, C, D) and a transcript converted to ATAR scores used for admission to Australian bachelors and universities above world.
